Welcome to SPEDAS

Here you can find information and documentation for the Space Physics Environment Data Analysis Software (SPEDAS) framework. The most current version, SPEDAS 2.00, was released on June 9, 2017.

SPEDAS is a grass-roots data analysis software for the Space Physics community. It supports multi-mission data ingestion, analysis and visualization. It standardizes the retrieval of data from distributed repositories, the scientific processing with a powerful set of legacy routines, the quick visualization with full output control and the graph creation for use in papers and presentations.

The SPEDAS framework:

Contains a Graphical User Interface for ease of use by novice users.

Works with Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Is based on IDL, benefiting from platform independence and software maintenance services.

The nightly builds are zip files containing a snapshot of the SPEDAS source code repository. They have not been
through our full QA process, but they do have the very latest features and bug fixes, and this is what many researchers
are using.

The current, fully-QAed version is available from the Downloads and Installation page, in several different formats. In addition to the IDL source code files, this page includes download links to pre-compiled, executable versions of SPEDAS, which do not require a separate, paid, IDL license.
